Samsung working on Galaxy Note 12.2 with 2560×1600 display?

Looks like Samsung thinks some people don’t find existing 10.1-inch tablet big enough and is preparing to offer this group of people an even bigger device. The Korean company is apparently working on a 12.2-inch Galaxy Note that may be released at some point in the third quarter of this year.

According to ETNews, Samsung Display and Sharp will supply about 2.5 million 12.2-inch panels with 2560×1600 pixels resolution (a la Nexus 10) to Samsung Electronics for its upcoming tablet. It is said that these panels will use Sharp’s IGZO (Indium-Gallium Zinc Oxide) technology which is described as more power-efficient than any other screen technology out there, Sammy’s Super AMOLED series included. S Pen will also come as part of the deal — it’s a Galaxy Note device, after all.

But Samsung may not be alone in this market of huge tablets — earlier we’ve heard that Apple may launch the iPad Maxi to compete with some touch-enabled Ultrabooks. We’ll follow this story closely and get back to you as soon as there’s something new to add. Stay tuned…

You’re forgetting something. The screen might be bigger, but that doesn’t mean the tablet itself is. Just like the Galaxy S4: the screen is 0.3 inches bigger diagonally, but the phone itself is thinner, compared to the S3

After using the note2, I’ve been dying for a large tablet so I can actually write/draw … this sounds perfect. 12.2″ for that isn’t really huge anyway; people thought 5.5″ for a phone was too big and it’s not. The laptop I’m using has a 15.6″ display, not much bezel; if I had a tablet that size for illustration it would be great. 12.2″ should be sufficient, though. Remember, this is a Note .. not just a browse-the-web device, so it sounds like not the device for you.
